• Deck building: Players build their personal deck by collecting cards throughout the game. Their cards represent skills, resources or actions that can be used during their turn. Each player must strategically assemble their deck to optimize their moves and adapt it to the circumstances of the game.

• Influence / Majority in the Area: Control of the areas on the board is determined by the presence of the players' forces. To achieve a majority, players need to strategically allocate their pieces or characters in different territories to secure bonuses and special abilities granted to those who hold control of an area.
